Design Driven Testing: Test Smarter, Not Harder

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2010

The groundbreaking book Design Driven Testing brings sanity back to the software development process by flipping around the concept of Test Driven Development (TDD)—restoring the concept of using testing to verify a design instead of pretending that unit tests are a replacement for design. Anyone who feels that TDD is “Too Damn Difficult” will appreciate this book.
Design Driven Testing shows that, by combining a forward-thinking development process with cutting-edge automation, testing can be a finely targeted, business-driven, rewarding effort. In other words, you’ll learn how to test smarter, not harder.

Applies a feedback-driven approach to each stage of the project lifecycle.
Illustrates a lightweight and effective approach using a core subset of UML.
Follows a real-life example project using Java and Flex/ActionScript.
Presents bonus chapters for advanced DDTers covering unit-test antipatterns (and their opposite, “test-conscious” design patterns), and showing how to create your own test transformation templates in Enterprise Architect.
